About Donna
Donna Cummings is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with two decades of experience in the mental health field.
Background and approach
She focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Donna also brings attention to issues such as caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, codependency, communication problems, and isolation.
Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered methods, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to support practical skill building and increased self-compassion. Donna offers life coaching alongside therapeutic work for people who want support focused on life skills and goal-oriented conversations rather than formal psychotherapy.
She emphasizes cultural awareness and a nonjudgmental stance while helping clients identify values, set achievable steps, and develop tools to manage emotions and behaviors. Based in North Carolina, Donna has built a practice shaped by long-term community work and a commitment to expanding access to mental health services.
Her style is warm and supportive while remaining goal-focused, helping clients move toward improved daily functioning and clearer priorities.
Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care
Donna commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed steps toward what matters to them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. CBT teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Donna works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She combines evidence-informed techniques with client-centered listening to tailor a plan that supports progress and skill development over time.
Online therapy with Donna offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or relocation happens, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for working on coping skills, life coaching, or therapy-focused goals.
